OUR LADY OF LOURDES NEW ORGAN
Last Monday, July 6, a new organ was installed in Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Poplar. It is a Baldwin Model 540, delivered by Nicholls Music Center, Great Falls.
Pastor Lou Krauth explained that the old organ, a Hammond, had served for over 40 years, and lately had developed serious malfunctions. Since the average lifespan of an electronic organ is about 25 years, the parish had prepared for a replacement by establishing an Organ Fund in 1984, which recently reached and even surpassed the set goal of $13,500.00. Said Fr. Lou: "We are extremely grateful to all parish members, and former members now far away, who so generously made memorial donations and other contributions for this purpose. Our splendid new organ is a perpetual testimony to the dedication of so many parishioners, and their interest in fine Church music." He added with a smile, "Our organist, Mrs. Ann O'Brien, will be very happy." The new organ will sound for the first time at Sunday Mass, July 12. A formal dedication concert is planned for the fall.
FREE TREES YOU CAN WIN $250,000 & SHRUBS
Montana lanowners with Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts can obtain $1,000 worth of trees and shrubs from the Dept. of Fish, wildlife and Parks. In a continuation of last year's DFWP Tree and Shrub Program, the dept. is offering the trees and shrubs free of charge to landowners who agree to ptent their CRP acres to further enhance wildlife habitat. The 1987 Legislature appropriated $50,000 of Montana sportmen's License fees for each of the next two years to fund the expanded DFWP Tree and Shrub Program. This year, CRP landowners throughout the state can participate in the program, rather than only those in specified areas as was the case last year. The Conservation Reserve Pregram of the 1985 Farm Bill is designed to take highly erodible croplands out of production and establish permanent vegetative cover on the land for the benefit of wildlife.
In Montana, about 900 landowners have enrolled approximately 350,000 acres in the Conservation Reserve Program. Last year, some 35 CRP land owners took advantage of the DFWP tree and Shrub Program and planted about 80,000 trees and shrubs in the form of shelter belts and windbreaks for wildlife. For more � information, call the Soil Conservation Service or the Dept. of Fish, Wildlffe and Parks office nearest you.
"Standing Tall"
MONTANA LOTTERY
Lottery players all over Montana will be crossing their fingers at 10 a.m. next Thursday to find out if they are among the seven lucky people selected to appear on the first Montana Lottery "Big Spin" TV show. Lottery Director Diana S. Dowling said today that a special drawing will be conducted on the steps of the State Capital next Thursday (July 9) to select seven finalists for the first "Big Spin" program on July 15. The public is invited to attend. Each finalist will be guaranteed at least $1,000 and will have a chance to win a Jackpot that begins at $250,000. Nearly 100,000 envelopes, each containing five non-winriing instant game tickets, have already been received at the Lottery, Dowling said. The volume of mail being received from the Post Office is increasing daily.
"It is important for people to understand that our selection procedure requires people to mail in their Big Spin entries in special blue envelopes provided to our retailers,"Dowling said," and for people to realize that entries are destroyed after they are included in a drawing. Big Spin envelopes should only be used for non-winning ticket entries." The Lottery requires all envelopes to be mailed, even entries from Helena, so that each entry arrives at the Lottery through an identical process and in random order.
The Lottery has received three inquiries from the public regarding big winners accidentally mailed to the Lottery in the blue "Big Spin" envelopes. A customer from Hungry Horse, specifically claimed to have mailed in a $10,000 winner. Lottery staff was able to locate the envelopes mailed in, but in all three cases the tickets were not big winners. "These cases were exceptions, "Dowling said. "Because our mail volume was still low, and because we are new, we went to the effort of trying to find the envelopes. We've estimated that once we start receiving a normal volume of mail, it would take an estimated minimum of 22 hours to go ^through just one day's mail in an attempt to locate a specific entry, and there is no guarantee we could do so."
In the future, Dowling said, it will be impossible to honor requests to locate a specific entry. Retailers and Lottery Headquarters are receiving numerous requests for information regarding the selection process that will be used to determine finalists on the Big Spin show. "Our procedure is based on th� experience of other state-run lotteries and is intended to insure that every ticket buyer has an equal chance to be select-ed,"Dowling said, "overall, the objective is to select one finalist for every 120,000 tickets sold. Ticket sales, entries, and other factors will be used to determine how many finalists are selected each week "
